Dear Attendee,

It is a great pleasure and privilege to announce the RSSA Cardiac Imaging Course 2027.

This hands-on, interactive teaching course will be led by internationally renowned thoracic and cardiac radiologists Dr Rami Neemtallah, Dr Hildo

Lamb, and Dr Jesse Habets, together with local radiologists Prof Leonie Scholtz, Dr Vijay Dahya, and Dr Andre du Plessis.

A course of this nature is particularly important for South African radiologists. Cardiac imaging is a complex and rapidly evolving subspecialty,

requiring a detailed understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and the specific requirements of referring cardiologists.

The course is aimed at radiologists with intermediate to advanced knowledge and skills, but will also be highly relevant to generalist and subspecialist radiologists. It will provide a practical approach to cardiac CT and MRI, covering common pathologies and potential pitfalls. The didactic lectures will be followed by case-based teaching on individual computers, with group discussion and shared learning.

On behalf of the RSSA and ASOC, we warmly welcome Dr Rami Neemtallah, Dr Hildo Lamb, and Dr Jesse Habets for this exciting course.

Kind regards,
